Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lectures, Vol. 2: Delivered Before the Young Men´s Christian Association; 1846-47 The following remarks upon British India shall have reference to its extent, its history, its people, and its religion. "When the nations of "Western Asia, in travelling towards the East, passed from those elevated regions of land forming what we now call Hindostan and Afghanistan, they found those ranges sloping down to a majestic river far surpassing the Oxus, the Tigris, or the Euphrates, with which they were familiar, to a river of the name of the Indus, - and to the tract of land lying to the east of that river they gave the name of India. The region in which we find them extending themselves may be thus described. Stretching from the Indus on the west, you find the gigantic range of the Himalaya Mountains running along towards the east, and you travel in that direction 1800 miles before you reach the eastern limits of British India, in the province of Assam. If you take the northern extremity, the Yale of Cashmere, you travel 2000 miles before you reach the southern termination, Cape Comorin: the most northern city is Lahore, and the most southern city is Trichinopoly. These two cities are as far apart as Stockholm and Naples. Upon the other hand, Chittagong on the east, and Hydrabad on the west, are as far apart as Athens and Paris.
